🕑 Added 2025-04-25 07:03:02 +0000 UTC"By the way, where’s Sister Yan? I haven’t seen her for days," Meng Yiran asked.
"Oh, Sister Yan? She went back to receive Grandpa Dugu’s secret inheritance. Right now, she’s probably undergoing the secret training at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well," Xiao Yu replied casually.
"Oh."
"..."
Meanwhile, in the Sunset Forest.
Tang San looked at the lifeless, shriveled body of a five-hundred-year Mandala Snake with a satisfied smile.
"As I absorb more toxins, my Blue Silver Grass has evolved again. Now, it can not only absorb toxins but also life force and soul power. With this, my leveling speed can be even faster!"
Feeling the surge of soul power within him, Tang San’s face was filled with excitement.
He then turned his gaze toward the nearby spider dens and snake nests, his eyes filled with ferocity.
"I promised Xiao Wu I’d only kill evil spirit beasts. So, you poisonous spiders and snakes, you’ve already chosen death. Use your wretched lives to help me grow stronger!"
At this moment, all the poison-type spirit beasts below the thousand-year level in the outer regions of the Sunset Forest became food for Tang San’s Blue Silver Grass.
In just one night, Tang San had gained a full level of soul power.
He had gone from level 33 to level 34 in a single night!
Tang San, feeling the surge of soul power within him, was filled with exhilaration.
Normally, reaching the next level at his Soul Elder rank would take months of hard work.
But now, by absorbing the life force and soul power of spirit beasts, his soul power could grow rapidly.
This discovery filled Tang San with excitement.
Seeing the rising sun, Tang San realized he had been out all night.
He decided to return to Blue Tyrant Academy.
However, just as he was about to leave, he saw a gorgeous figure heading toward Heaven Dou City.
"That’s... Xiao Yu’s... Xiao Yu’s woman, Dugu Yan..."
Seeing Dugu Yan, Tang San’s face revealed a cruel expression.
Dugu Yan’s martial soul is the Jade Phosphor Serpent. Perhaps she can provide a significant boost to my soul power. And her grandfather, Dugu Bo, who treated us like trash and kicked us out of Heaven Dou Royal Academy—I’ve never forgotten that grudge!
At this moment, having found a way to level up quickly, Tang San had already marked Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo as his targets.
If he could absorb the toxins and soul power from them, his strength would grow tremendously!
Xiao Yu, that bastard, stole my Xiao Wu. It’s only fair that I take his Dugu Yan!
However, Tang San knew now wasn’t the right time to act.
After all, he wasn’t yet a match for Dugu Yan, who was already a Soul Ancestor, while he was still a low-level Soul Elder.
Thus, the best course of action was to wait until his strength improved. At the very least, he needed to be able to defeat Dugu Yan alone. Then, he could use his Blue Silver Grass to drain her toxins and soul power without anyone noticing.
Tang San was confident. After all, he had gained a full level in just one night by absorbing the life force of hundred-year spirit beasts.
If he could absorb the life force of thousand-year spirit beasts, his leveling speed would be even faster—provided he could subdue them.
He could already imagine Xiao Yu’s heartbroken expression.
Having made his decision, Tang San headed back to the academy.
He was exhausted and hungry.
He needed to return to the academy and rest.
Meanwhile, Dai Mubai, who had also been out all night, stood at the entrance of the academy.
Looking at the bustling crowd inside, his heterochromatic eyes were filled with lustful light.
Unlike his disheveled state from yesterday, Dai Mubai now exuded confidence, completely free of the inferiority and gloom he had felt before.
Dai Mubai walked into the academy, heading back to his dorm.
His handsome appearance attracted the admiring gazes of many female students.
Dai Mubai seemed to enjoy the attention, but when he returned their gazes with his lustful eyes, the girls were instantly frightened away.
"Ugh! That golden-haired guy’s eyes are so scary! It’s like he wants to strip me naked!!"
"His eyes are so disgusting. Honestly, in Blue Tyrant Academy, aside from Young Master Xiao Yu, no one else can make my heart flutter!!"
"Exactly! Young Master Xiao Yu is the most handsome!!"
As Dai Mubai walked, he heard the girls chattering about "Young Master Xiao Yu." He gritted his teeth, his face filled with anger and resentment.
"Hmph, one day, I’ll rip Xiao Yu’s head off and kick it like a ball. But before that, I need to get her back."
Dai Mubai’s gaze fell on Zhu Zhuqing, who was holding breakfast not far ahead. The lust in his eyes intensified.
Zhu Zhuqing was his fiancée. Even if she wanted to leave him, he had to have his fill of her first!!
Thus, Dai Mubai stepped forward and blocked Zhu Zhuqing’s path.
"Zhu Zhuqing, I’m giving you one last chance. Leave Xiao Yu and return to me. Become my slave. When I defeat my elder brother, I’ll let you live. Otherwise, once I become the Star Luo Emperor, I’ll hunt you down until there’s no place for you to hide!"
Hearing Dai Mubai’s words, Zhu Zhuqing’s expression turned cold.
Her eyes filled with disdain, she sneered, "Dai Mubai, you’re becoming more and more ridiculous. You know you can’t beat your elder brother, so now you’re resorting to mental victories? Get lost! I don’t want to see you again! Xiao Yu is a hundred times better than you! You’re not even worth a single hair on his head!"
With that, Zhu Zhuqing turned to leave.
But Dai Mubai, furious, reached out to grab her.
However, Zhu Zhuqing dodged with a quick movement.
"Dai Mubai, are you seeking death?"
Just as the two were in a standoff, Ning Rongrong noticed the scene.
She immediately summoned her Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and cast four buffs on Zhu Zhuqing.
"Zhuqing, why waste words? As Xiao Yu says, if you’re not convinced, just fight!"
Hearing Ning Rongrong’s words, Zhu Zhuqing didn’t hesitate.
She prepared to attack.
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing ready to fight, Dai Mubai sneered.
"Ridiculous. You think you’re Xiao Yu? I’m a level 39 Soul Elder. You’re just a beginner Soul Elder—"
But before he could finish, Dai Mubai’s face turned green as he saw two yellow and two purple soul rings emerge beneath Zhu Zhuqing.
Four rings?! How... how is she at level 40 already?!
